BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a percale bedding system and more particularly pertains bedding fabricated of a percale fabric characterized by anti-wrinkle capabilities, increased softness and durability/long life, and decreased cost.

2. Description of the Prior Art

The use of bedding fabric of known designs and configurations is known in the prior art. More specifically, bedding fabric of known designs and configurations previously devised and utilized for the purpose of fabricating bedding are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.

While the prior art fabrics fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, they do not describe percale bedding system that is characterized by anti-wrinkle capabilities, increased softness and durability/long life, and decreased cost.

In this respect, the percale bedding system according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides a fabric weave primarily developed for the purpose of fabricating bedding of a percale fabric characterized by anti-wrinkle capabilities, increased softness and durability/long life, and decreased cost.

Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved percale bedding system which can be used for fabricating bedding of a percale fabric characterized by anti-wrinkle capabilities, increased softness and durability/long life, and decreased cost. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.

It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved percale bedding system which has all of the advantages of the prior art bedding fabric of known designs and configurations and none of the disadvantages.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved percale bedding system which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved percale bedding system which is of durable and reliable constructions.

An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved percale bedding system which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such percale bedding system economically available to the buying public.

Lastly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved bedding system fabricated of a percale fabric characterized by anti-wrinkle capabilities, increased softness and durability/long life, and decreased cost.

These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.

For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1 thereof, the preferred embodiment of the new and improved percale bedding system embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

The present invention, the percale bedding system 10 is comprised of a plurality of components. Such components in their broadest context include a percale weave sheeting having fabric warp yarn and filament weft yarn in a cross weave. Such components are individually configured and correlated with respect to each other so as to attain the desired objective.

In the preferred embodiment, bedding 10 is characterized by anti-wrinkle capabilities, increased softness and durability/long life, and decreased cost. The bedding is fabricated of percale weave sheeting. The bedding includes two pillow cases 12, a top sheet 14, and a fitted sheet 16. The percale weave sheeting has cotton warp yarn 18 with a denier of 20 D to 240 D. The percale weave sheeting has polyester weft yarn 20 with a denier of 20 D to 240 D. The polyester weft yarn is polyester filament, low intermingle. The cotton warp yarn and the polyester weft yarn are in a cross weave, 1/1, 1 over 1 and under.

In alternate embodiments, the fabric is formed as a pillowcase, a top sheet, or a fitted sheet. In another alternate embodiment, the bedding includes pillowcases, a top sheet, and a fitted sheet.

In a further alternate embodiment, the cross weave is 1/1, 1 over and 1 under. In another embodiment, the cross weave is 1/2, 1 over and 2 under. In still another embodiment, the cross weave is 1/4, 1 over and 4 under.
